🚨🚨🚨 The global average temperature in 2025 was the 3rd highest on record. The last three years are in a class by themselves. Instead of focusing on changes in aerosols, volcanic eruptions, or other transient events, focus on the on big thing we have been doing globally for 250 years. 🚨🚨🚨

Donald Trump, Russland, Gaza, Krieg, Rente, Wehrpflicht, Stadtbild - diese Themen haben 2025 dominiert: Und das Klima? Haben wir das vergessen?

Globalisation didn’t begin in the 1990s, or even in the past millennia. The tale of globalisation is written across human history. So why do we keep getting the story so wrong? This Essay was one of our most read by you in 2025. Revisit it here:

What better way to end 2025 than getting our paper published in Global Environmental Change 🥳💚
We studied perceptions of the feasibility of climate-relevant behavior change and how these perceptions connect to income differences and climate policy support.
Let me tell you all about it🧵👇
